because that streak may not happen again. What was the percentage?

Sorry if that was a bit blunt!
People make % to be much more than it is. You are just as likely to streak a 70% machine than a 80% machine if the signs are there. The 2 machines i probably make most from (DNA/KKC) are both set to 70%.

matt b sorry mate but you have got that wrong. Machine will save a bigger part of percentage off on 80% than it would on 70%.

Be careful though when generalising like that though. Not all machines will do what you've said. For example, an Italian Job 3 will only
ever streak for £75 max, whether its on 70% or 80%. You have to know each machines streak cycles and how they work when working out play.
As far as i'm concerned, the extra pieces of % may slightly help on machines with Mega Streaks, and perhaps offer an extra cash/feature level or two on boards. Other than that, no difference.
Say we go over 100,000 spins at 30p play. That's £3330ish of money through. On 70%, thats £2300 back. On 80%, it equates to £2600 odd. Only £300 difference, and over that many spins, the amount one player will get is negligible really.
That's the only reason i said people make percentages out to be more than they are......those figures only highlight it really. I'm not denying it pays more on 80%, but its hardly the holy grail some people make it out to be.

I think your missing the point Matt. If a machine is on 80% payout it will save 4p per spin onto the streak compensator if it is on 70% it will save 2p onto the streak compensator. This means if the streak is £75 it will get there quicker on 80%. It will also play better game to game as it will be running at 76% rather than 68%. Agreed the streak will pay the same but it will streak more often if it is on 80%.

permit me if i misunderstood you but theres no such thing as 68%...
Legal requirements are set at 74%
Even tho some 70%'s exist...which is odd.
